Fischerspooner, an band that epitomizes everything I love in music, art, and expression, has announced a new album out (May 5), called Entertainment. They are touring as well, including a date at our beloved 9:30 club on May 10. They are also playing two dates in NYC, one at the Music Hall of Williamsburg May 7, and Webster Hall May 8. I cannot convey how excited I am about this in this blurb, but I can implore you to PLEASE go see them. Tickets are on sale this weekend.
According to their website, "Fischerspooner is an art pop performance project created and helmed by Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner that makes music, dance, fashion, film and photography. Their work fuses fine art and pop culture, as in their renowned outsider pop shows bursting with stage effects presented in both art galleries and traditional concert halls. Their full-length albums of music include 1, a punked-up digital party record trussed with conceptual lyrics; and Odyssey, a rich emotional fantasia with a deep, expansive sound. Fischerspooner’s third album Entertainment, a sophisticated pop epic bubbling with hooks, releases in May, 2009."
"In conjunction with each album, FISCHERSPOONER develops a dynamic performance that theatrically realizes and furthers their creative concepts and ideas. Legend amongst outsider teenagers and sophisticated arts elite alike, the shows are renowned for their rich mix of art, dance, music and fashion. Hairy monsters, feathered chorus girls spitting blood, raucous new versions of their underground hits, and storms of glitter - a FISCHERSPOONER show is a phantasmagoric experience that is all the way live." - MySpaceIf you are unfamiliar with Fischerspooner, and want to check them out, I definitely recommend listening to the following tracks: "A Kick in the Teeth", "Emerge", "Just Let Go", "Danse en France", "The Best Revenge" and "Never Win."
Do it.
